Would anyone know what specific time frame these are from other than 16th
century (I kinda get that), and perhaps any further information, in
English? and be willing to share that with me?
The images on the page are from Ovid's _Heroides_, which is written in the
form of letters from famous women (mostly mythological) of antiquity to
their lovers. IIRC, all the affairs ended badly. Anyway, the illuminated
manuscript is MS Francais 874, held in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France
in Paris, and it is believed to have been created sometime between 1498 and
1502.
